Why these floors —

E11 · E12 · E7 · E10

E14 places every story on a stack of fifteen floors, from the fields under everything to the planet acting as one. This one sits on E11, organizations; the pressure it names: fracking ban. Its words also reach E12 states, E7 ecosystems and E10 institutions.

Here it is a dynamic between organizations, states and ecosystems: PEMEX (E11 organizations), with Mexico's president and Local officials (E12 states), and oil and gas fracking and water resources (E7 ecosystems).
